The buzz around the new season of Doctor Who has been bigger than it’s been in the recent years, especially as Jodie Whittaker will be the first woman to take on the role as the Doctor.

The new writers taking over from Steven Moffatt will also have big shoes to fill given that he has created some of the best Doctor Who episodes to date and began regularly writing for the show all the way back in 2010.

BBC has revealed that showrunner Chris Chibnall was joined by Malorie Blackman, Ed Hime, Vinay Patel, Pete McTighe and Joy Wilkinson for this season’s scripts.

Malorie Blackman, who led the team of additional writers, is author of the Noughts and Crosses series.

“I’ve always loved Doctor Who,” said Blackman. “Getting the chance to write for this series has definitely been a dream come true.”

Vinay Patel is an award winning TV writer who’s debut Murdered Be My Father was nominated for three BAFTAS.

He said: “I grew up watching shows like Star Trek and Quantum Leap on the edge of my dad’s bed, and I loved how they managed to capture the imagination of a kid like me as well as acting as a moral compass. I never imagined that I’d get to write for Doctor Who – I was pretty thrilled.”

Jodie Whittaker’s series will premiere on the BBC in October.

The BBC has just released a teaser trailer for series 11 of Doctor Who, tentatively set to premiere in the fall of 2018 (though no date has been set yet).

Other than showing us a glimpse of the 13th doctor grinning at us in her new outfit, we also get introduced to her new companions. And while most of the doctors only had one or two friends aboard their spaceship, the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), no.13 is getting a whole crew!

Meet Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yasmin (Mandip Gill) and Graham (Bradley Walsh)!

New showrunner Chris Chibnall also promised brand new foes for Jodie Whittaker’s doctor.

“We’ve got a new Doctor, all-new characters, all-new monsters, all-new stories,” Chibnall told the Radio Times. “It’s going to be exciting, emotional and the most enormous fun.”

He also promised the new series would be accessible for any new viewers who may want to jump in and join the fun without having to watch over 50 years’ worth of Doctor Who!

“It was really important to me that there’s no barrier to entry,” Chibnall said in his Radio Times interview. “You don’t need to know about anything that’s come before.”
